What is the cause of death in Alzheimers patients? These things lead to an increased risk of pneumonia, which is the most common cause of death in people who have Alzheimer's disease. I imagine urosepsis is another cause of death. There is a blurred distinction between death caused by dementia and death resulting from dementia. Here are some interesting sources: Burns A, Jacoby R, Luthert P, Levy R. Cause of death in Alzheimer’s disease. Age and Ageing 1990;19(5):341–4.

Dementia Dementia develops when the parts of the brain that are involved with learning, memory, decision-making, and language are affected by any of various infections or diseases. The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer's disease, but there are numerous other known causes. Most of these causes are very rare.Dementia is irreversible when caused by degenerative disease or trauma, but might be reversible in some cases when caused by drugs, alcohol, hormone or vitamin imbalances, or depression.Therefore, it is very important to evaluate dementia symptoms comprehensively, so as not to miss potentially treatable conditions.hat are some of the other causes of dementia? There are many causes of dementia, including neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, blood flow-related (vascular) disorders such as multi-infarct cognitive impairment, inherited disorders such as Huntington's disease, and infections such as HIV.

It is rare in people under age 60. The risk of dementia increases as a person gets older. Most types of dementia are nonreversible (degenerative). Nonreversible means the changes in the brain that are causing the dementia cannot be stopped or turned back. Alzheimer disease is the most common type of dementia. Another common type of dementia is vascular dementia. It is caused by many small strokes. Lewy body disease is a common cause of dementia in the elderly. People with this condition have abnormal protein structures in certain areas of the brain.
